Last of the American Hoboes is cutty. It would probably be kind of confusing to watch if you were prepared to see a documentary.
True, there happens to be real hobos along the way, but the actual cast is a cast of actors. The stories are probably based on the accounts of other freight riders, but the only "documentary" part of the story is the convention footage at the end of the film.
It's unfortunate that the quality is so poor, but considering all the footy is probably over 40 years old makes it kind of a gem. Also considering that this film is probably the only one to date that you will find on hoboing makes it actually pretty epic.
I'm not quite sure where one would find this film, but you can find Moede's ashes inside Mondo Video on Melrose.
